Due to the current health concerns, our knitting ladies are taking a short hiatus working from home knitting and putting blankets together. Whilst we don't have the manpower to teach knitting at the moment, the girls who are not confident knitters have focused on learning how to sew the squares together into blankets. Our Year 7 students have particularly enjoyed this. Other students have been sewing our group labels 'Handmade With Love From St Patrick's College Knitting Group' onto completed blankets.

Special mention needs to be given to Olivia L of Year 10 who competed an entire blanket over the Covid break! She also created a beautiful knitted doll of a WWI nurse who we have claimed as our Knitting Group mascot and named her 'Pattie'.

Many thanks also to the grandmothers and friends of the College who have donated squares: Judith Andrews, Leonie Corlett and Lyn Carlin. All donations much appreciated.
